The association between nonpharmacological interventions and quality of life in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: A systematic review.
Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Nursing 2022 November 16
BACKGROUND: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a common psychiatric disorder with a worldwide prevalence of about five percent among children and adolescents. This disorder affects most aspects of their lives e.g., academic performance and social relations, and their overall quality of life is reduced compared to healthy peers. The majority of children with ADHD are treated with medication that potentially has an insufficient effect and/or frequently occurring side effects.
OBJECTIVES: To enable nurses and other health care professionals to guide children with ADHD and their families in their choices of treatment, based on the best available literature on the association between nonpharmacological interventions and quality of life.
DATA SOURCES: A literature search was performed in the databases CENTRAL, Embase, PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO. Seven randomized controlled trials were included in this systematic review. They examined the use of polyunsaturated fatty acids, physical activity, psychoeducation, cognitive therapy, cognitive training, hippotherapy, and behavioral therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: The study of behavioral therapy in the form of a sleep intervention detected an improvement in quality of life which was statistically significant compared to the control group.
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Children with ADHD and a sleep disorder may gain improvement in their quality of life from a sleep intervention.
